Each year the Young Virtuoso Award rewards the talent of a classical instrumentalist under the age of 25 or a classical singer under the age of 30 with a $10 000 prize.

The selection process is rigorous, and each radio station holds semi-finals leading up to the event to pick the finalist who will represent their station. The five finalists then compete by performing a solo work.

You can read about the competition over at the site of our Sydney sister station, Fine Music FM.
